The Throne of Solomon

بساط سليمان بود

مجلس هفتم: بساط سليمان بود كه چون با حشم و خدم و جن و انس و طيور از روي هوا محاذي مقتل سيدالشهداء (عليه‌السلام) شد، باد آن بساط را سه دور پيچانيد و به سوي زمين آورد، سليمان باد را معاقب نمود بر اين حركت، پس باد بيان نمود مصائب را، و گفت: يا نبي‌الله اينجا زمين شهادت اوست - تا آخر خبر. [610] .

The Throne of Solomon

The seventh gathering was on the flying carpet of Sulaymān (a.s.).

As Sulaymān (a.s.), together with his attendants, servants, jinn, humans, and birds, was travelling through the air, they came parallel to the place where Sayyid al-Shuhadāʾ, Imām al-Ḥusayn (a.s.), would be martyred.

Suddenly, the wind caused the carpet to circle three times and then brought it down toward the earth.

Sulaymān (a.s.) reproached the wind for this action.

The wind then explained the tragedy and said:

“O Prophet of Allah, this is the land where he will be martyred.”

And it proceeded to describe the calamities that would befall him, as mentioned in the remainder of the narration. [610]
